Dalek costume

I am putting Jacob's Dalek costume on here since it is crafty.  It took me four hours of fast and furious sewing to create this thing.  It is made out of felt and I built it from the feet up.  Not very smart I know but I wasn't sure how I was going to make the head so I figured I could think about it while I sewed the rest.  He needed it for a party at 630 I started sewing at 230 and he walked in the door of his party at 637 originally he had been planning to attend the party as the Doctor.  He wasn't going to be a dalek until halloween so I figured I had a couple of days to work.  I created it from a picture online no pattern just winging it with equal amounts of prayers and stupidity.  So I guess what I am saying is be kind. hehe.  All in all I think that it turned out pretty cute.  He is happy and I am glad.

The only thing that I made on Zach's costume is his sonic screwdriver and that is just a screwdriver some duct tape and a mini flashlight.  Craig won't let the real one out of the box so we had to improvise since no one wants to carry it in a box.  Who are we kidding he wouldn't even let them play with it in the box:)
